DESIGNED BY GUSTAV WENNERBERG

is in many cases restful and harmonious.
I should like to draw particular attention to that
designed by Mr. R. Ostman, the well-known archi-
tect, for Nordiska Moblerings Aktiebolaget, in-
cluding a very handsome set of dining-room
furniture, in exceptionally good style, simple in
lines but elaborated with inlaid ornamentation.
Another striking dining-room, in what is called
modernized Keltish-Northern style, has been de-
signed by M. Carl Jonsson (see p. 213).

It is with regret that I bring my somewhat
cursory remarks about the exhibition to an end.
Before it closes next month it is to be hoped
many of The Studio readers may find it con-
venient to pay a visit to Sweden’s beautiful capital
and see for themselves to what admirable results
the Swedes have attained within this field. The
exhibition is under the patronage of the King of
Sweden, and His Majesty’s youngest brother,
Prince Eugen—an eminently talented painter—is
Honorary President. G. B.

of health, there was nothing in his condition fore-
boding an imminent termination of his life.

At the Leicester Galleries the exhibition of Ford
Madox Brown’s works was a notable event, plunging
